As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release two player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is junior cornerback Josh Jobe out of Miami (Fla.).
Josh Jobe, Cornerback
Height: 6-1 / Weight: 189
Class: Junior
Hometown: Miami (Fla.)
High School: Chesire Academy (Conn.)
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 109 overall / No. 4 S / No. 1 CT
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 227 overall / No. 19 S / No. 1 CT
Analysis: It’s Josh Jobe’s time to shine. With Trevon Diggs off to the NFL, Jobe is the heavy favorite to take over his starting spot after running with the first team in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan back in January.
Jobe wasn’t perfect, but he made his fair share of plays and proved that he’s capable of locking down that position permanently for the 2020 season.
Expect some continued growing pains from the junior out of Chesire Academy in Connecticut, but also expect growth as the season wears on. This Alabama secondary, while including a lot inexperience, should be solid at the top.
